The Jawas are extremely excited about "The Egg" ("SOOGA!").It gets funnier on a rewatch when you remember that just one episode ago (and barely a day in-universe) Kuill thought nothing of sending The Mando into a pit full of mercenaries with an autocannon, but the moment the Jawas mention "the egg" even he thinks it's a bad idea for Mando.Kuiil is put in the unenviable position of being the mediator between the Mandalorian and the Jawas that stripped his ship.Having finally, with great effort, scaled the side of the Jawa's sandcrawler, the Mandalorian reaches the top, draws his blaster, and– promptly gets zapped by a dozen or more Jawa tasers and falls backwards off the edge to land flat on his back.Blink and you'll miss it but when Din grabs one of the open hatches, the Jawa behind it promptly slams it on his fingers the look of "damn, that hurt!" somehow even makes it through the helmet.The driver cackles with glee, like he's always wanted to do this. When they first see him hanging off the side, one Jawa calls to the driver and tells him to drive next to a cliff to scrape him off.Turns out even a one-man army can have trouble with garbage if it's a lot of garbage. The Jawas defend their crawling fortress with a combination of poking the Mandalorian with sticks and throwing random junk at him from above.The contrast of the loud gunshot and impact mixed with the Jawas simply POOF-ing into nothingness with only the Jawa yell in its wake can be quite cathartic for fans who find the scamps a hindrance to several Star Wars protagonists throughout the years. The Black Comedy of the Jawas getting disintegrated.The sight of a Jawa trying to be Rambo is pretty silly. Most of the Jawas run for it when the Mandalorian starts sniping them with his disintegrator rifle, but one stands his ground and starts Firing in the Air a Lot. The entire plot of the episode is the result of our badass protagonist getting his ride chop-shopped by a horde of cute, incompetent critters who proceed to kick his ass and boss him around when he tries to get it back.The Mandalorian tells the child to spit it out, but then the child promptly swallows it whole (and it's still alive when he does so). At one point, The Child gets ahold of a frog-like critter, and, like any baby, promptly sticks it in his mouth.This quickly escalates into a full-blown Offscreen Teleportation Running Gag throughout the series from here on out.Anyone who's been a parent can understand his pain. The Running Gag of The Child repeatedly, somehow, getting out of its hoverpod-crib-thing and the Mandalorian having to repeatedly put it back in.IG-11, oblivious to this, remains standing out in the open, negotiating the terms of their agreement. He does this while hiding behind cover, expecting enemies to come streaming in at any moment. The Mandalorian manages to convince IG-11 to team up with him, and then tries to convince the droid to regroup somewhere safer.You can just tell that rather than be hurt by the blaster bolt, which bounced off his pauldron, the Mandalorian is just really annoyed at the whole situation. When the Mandalorian first approaches IG-11, the droid mistakes him for a hostile and immediately shoots him before he gets a chance to identify as a fellow guild member.Mando's reaction to seeing IG-11 approach his bounty? "Oh no.".The Mandalorian just stares at him for a few moments before warily approaching the blurrg again. Kuiil then explains that this is a female blurrg the males were all eaten during the mating season.The Mandalorian: Perhaps he remembers I tried to roast him. Kuiil: Perhaps if you removed your helmet. Later, Mando walks into a Mandalorian enclave where everyone is wearing their helmets. Earlier in the episode, Mythrol comments that he heard Mandalorians never take off their helmets.He reacts more as if he accidentally walked into the women's bathroom. Pershing accidentally walks in on the Mandalorian's meeting unannounced, spooking Mando and the stormtroopers into a tense standoff. What bounties does Greef have for the Mandalorian to choose from? Several bail jumpers and a wanted smuggler.He then proceeds to very hastily hit the buttons of the control panel to seal it up again. While snooping around the Razor Crest, the Mythrol uncovers a small arsenal of weapons.This includes entering Life Day into official canon, no doubt to a lot of fans' horror and/or amusement.The Mythrol attempts to make small-talk with the Mandalorian. Mythrol: "Stay off the ice," that was an understatement of the millennium.
